Love can be found in uncanny places, especially when one least expects it. Noora Arkavazi and Bobi Dodevski are one such couple whose love defies all odds!

Dodevski was a Macedonian border guard working on an extra shift to cover for his fellow colleague. Arkavazi was an Iraqi refugee trying to get a green signal to cross the borders to Macedonia with her family.

What started as a gesture of help slowly developed into something deeper.

Bobi Saw Something Special In Noora’s Eyes

Noora was badly hurt, suffering from high fever and falling down a couple of times while crossing the borders. Bobi wasted no time calling the Red Cross to tend to her.

But in spite of his efforts to keep his interaction with Noora as professional as possible, Bobi eventually realized it would be impossible.

“I see many, many girls – maybe [more beautiful], a little, than Noora. But I see something special in Noora’s eyes, and I say, ‘This is it. I must have Noora here to be my wife!’” Bobi told BBC.
